What Makes Cells Different from Other Open Access Journals

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-11-02

Summary:

"In 2011, I was invited to serve as the Editor-In-Chief for Cells, which back then was a “new kid on the block” among open access (OA) journals. There are several reasons why I decided to accept the invitation, the most important one being the passion of MDPI and Cells’ administrative team to create a first-class international forum for researchers studying the mechanisms underlying the structure and function of a cell. Having first-hand access to submitted manuscripts, I am privileged to see the latest scientific trends and discoveries. On the other hand, serving as the EIC is quite challenging and requires difficult decisions to be made. How should we proceed with a paper that has received mixed reviews ranging from “accept after minor revision” to “reject”? Is it worth adding a new Special Issue? Should the paper be recommended for peer review or not? Fortunately, thanks to our dedicated administrative staff, we manage to solve these issues in a timely and professional manner, which is a great example of team work."
